I wanted to hate "Bounty Tracker". After all, in the other Lorenzo Lamas films I've seen he has a narrower emotional range than a tomato. But, surprisingly, for what it was it was actually pretty decent. Of course, you need to be willing to tolerate watching a very violent film!
When the story begins, a team of evil mercenaries walks into a tax consulting office and kill everyone in sight...with no dialog, no mercy...just shooting them all. One, however, escapes and soon the killers track down Paul Damone and they kill him and his wife. His brother, Jonathan (Lorenzo Lamas) tries to stop them, but he's too late. What the murderers do not realize is that Jonathan is both a bounty hunter (I am not sure why they only use the term 'bounty tracker') and he's an unstoppable killing machine when provoked.
Jonathan spends the rest of the movie following leads and tracking down leads until the ultimate boss battle at the end. A good addition to this are some young gang members who later team up with him. While Lamas STILL has little emotional range, these young guys were kind of cute and enjoyable and gave the film some needed emotion.
Overall, I was shocked that I enjoyed such a violent film. Part was, of course, the gang members and part was that Lamas' martial arts/fighting skills looked amazing. I never realized he was so accomplished. A decent time-passer.
By the way, I was torn between a 5 and 6....and opted for 5 because when the film began, Lamas was trying to speak with a British accent....and it was unintentionally funny.
